Try negotiating with them to maybe 50k. It's negotiable

Gone are the days when "problem shared is problem solved" nowadays it's "problem shared, problem gossiped about"

If you don't have any meaningful solution to the OP, just read and leave the thread

Like someone suggested, try reaching the airline through their Twitter handle, Facebook or official email, if all effort seems abortive, just pay the money to avoid even paying more

It was Etihad , lagos to india, i missed my flight, and i was rescheduled to tomorrow flight, the lady wrote a penalty of 75k on my print out which i know its not official, please someone in the house who is experience should help me, i don't have such amount of money , i have logged on there sight and confirmed that i'm scheduled for tomorrow flight.

I booked the ticket by myself online with my master card and i believe if there's any extra charges , i should also pay it by myself online. The lady said i should bring the 75k tomorrow on my travel date.

Please kindly move to front page if possible, i need urgent advice from experienced people, i've contacted ethihad but since the call was picked by nigerians , i still smell pre-intimacy. please help me. i attached a picture of an image which seams like what i could have paid if there's any charges , which is 75dolars or i have already paid charges for extension incase i missed the flight. please check the image

Reason why i missed the flight:[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] The first flight i booked showed September 18th, 1:30pm, i was so sad because this will not meet up with my course and i will have to book another one. Not knowing that the date was an error from there end and i wasn't charged at all, i almost cried for about 1hour while i was waiting for gtb to charge me, But when they didn't charge me, that was when i realized it was an error from their end so i rebooked it, now the date was okay (august 12th, 2019) but i never bother to checked the time again , forgetting that the date and time changed, i've been telling my self my flight was 1:30, I EVEN SLEPT AROUND 9 TILL 10, i live at ojodu berger, so i could be at ikeja airport by 11am which i did. Note: No village people is involved, It will had to my experience i live i know. so just give me your honest advice not village things.

Try every possible means to reach Etihad officially, check their email address or their twitter handle they should tell you the official price for a penalty if you missed your flight, if you try to no avail, then the 75k is your best bet otherwise you will have to rebook the whole thing entirely which is more expensive.

Sorry, you got it all wrong. I don't know if you are a first time traveler. Even at that, you should have asked all necessary questions. Also you ahould have taken note of every single details while booking, and also confirmed your ticket online days ahead of your departure. Most airline offer online 'check in' 72 hours before departure, if you had taken advantage of this, you won't be in this mess. Also, your plan to leave your place by 10am and arrive airport at 11 for an international flight at 1.30pm is a very bad one. You could get stuck in lagos traffic thus ruining your plan. Also most international flights close 'check in' 45 mins-1 hr before flight depature. Sometimes, the immigration queue might be so long, such that u may even spend close to 45 mins before getting to your boarding gate. You should consider all of these factors when on international travel. With regards to the fine, I sincerly doubt if you can do anything about it. Cos the fault was obviously yours. You can try to seek audience with a much senior official tho, maybe they can put a human face to the issue. I wish you good luck. But please take note of all i have said.

From what op is saying, it seems they changed the time without informing their customers. Who does that? In saner climes they will be the ones to pay op for damages.

with due respect ma, if you read the whole thing and the reason why i missed it, you will know that i check the time, but i registered the wrong time .
